IDPhotoStudio Editor's Review

IDPhotoStudio is a response to the difficulty of producing photo identification in multiples. If you have ever driven around town looking for a photo ID booth or paid through the odds by visiting a professional photographer, you are probably the target audience for this software gadget.

The software application is downloaded and opened. There is some language translation support for navigation, if required. You can then select and load your JPEG to include and select the number of photographs to place on the sheet for printing. The application resizes and aligns the photograph to fit neatly into a grid suitable for the country you have selected in the Option pull-down: 35 x 45 mm size is common. The layout is based on an A4 size page. After that you simply select Print Now.

You can apply some effects: greyscale, sepia, some image rotation; but it lacks basic crop and resize options. This omission forces the user to use a different photo editor prior to coming to IDPhotoStudio which is inconvenient, but not disastrous as there are many great and inexpensive editors out there to use.

Pros: Neat and cheap.

Cons: Will need to be used in conjunction with a photo editor for best results.

Conclusion: There are many occasions on which an ID photograph is required; passports, ID cards, driving licenses, railcards, bus passes, and access cards. KC Software has produced a great little software application, free, easy to use and uncomplicated. With this software you need never be short of an image or two of yourself.
